Abstract
Two cam-bearing holders of an indexing drive are bolted to opposed side walls of a housing in such a way that respective positions of the cam-bearing holders are adjustable in a plane orthogonal to an axial direction of the cam shaft along the side walls. Each of the cam-bearing holders has a first reference surface for positioning the cam-bearing holder relative to a positioning reference surface of the output shaft in the axial direction of an output shaft and a second reference surface for positioning the cam-bearing holder in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the output shaft. With such novel arrangements, there is achieved an improved cam-positioning mechanism for the indexing drive which can accurately adjust a meshing engagement between the cam and roller followers of the output shaft and thereby allows the indexing drive to be assembled with greatly increased accuracy.
